15.While I looked at the creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each of them,

16.glittering as if made of chrysolite. The four wheels had the same shape: indeed each was double - two wheels placed crosswise,

17.so they could follow any of the four directions without turning as they went.

18.Their rims were lofty and looked terrifying, and the four of them were covered with eyes all the way round.

19.When the creatures moved forward the wheels moved along beside them and when the creatures rose from the ground the wheels rose, too.

20.Wherever the spirit was to go, there the creatures went and the wheels went with them for the spirit of the creatures was also in the wheels.

21.When the creatures moved forward they did, too, stopping when they stopped, rising above the ground when they did, for the spirit of the creatures was in the wheels.

22.Over the heads of the creatures was a kind of platform; it looked like crystal.

23.Under the platform their wings were straight, one parallel to the other. (Each creature had two that covered its body).

24.I heard the noise of their wings when they moved, similar to the roar of many waters, similar to the voice of the Most High, the noise of a multitude or of a camp. When they were not moving they lowered their wings.
